    Japan, 1863.
    After three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s oppressive rule, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation’s borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil. Amidst the chaos of war, disease and political unrest, a nameless warrior forges their own path, holding the very fate of Japan in their hands.
    Shape a dynamic story
    As a masterless warrior - a Ronin, your destiny is your own. See the story unfold in different ways depending on the choices you make and the characters you ally with along the way. Face critical mission decisions - like whether to assassinate or protect key figures, and shape the course of history through a rich multi-choice system.
    Engage in deep accessible combat
    From the veteran developers of Nioh and Ninja Gaiden - Rise of the Ronin offers deeply engaging yet accessible combat, with layers of complexity suitable for any playstyle. Face your foes with a selection of close-quarters weaponry or engage from afar with authentic period firearms.
    Explore a historically-inspired world
    The “Bakumatsu” period heralds the end of the Shogunate as a new era begins and East and West collide. Experience this cultural revolution across an open world where you’ll meet the key figures who’ll shape the course of history, and the ordinary citizens seeking a guiding light in the darkness.

    For those interested, easiest way to level up and obtain high end gear for Midnight difficulty is to do coop and join ally missions. Hope you are all doing well.

      @SlimeYouOut92 that's odd. I didn't coop until I finished the game and haven't had an issue. What level are you? I know sometimes suspending the game can lead to those messages.

    RUclipsrs spent 3 hrs playing the game just to make a review and called it bad because like u said they suck at parrying, dont have the patience to learn the combat system, and simply arent good so instead of saying its a skill gap lets just call it bad. This has been my favorite game so far this year and I guarantee once it goes on sale or maybe comes to the ps plus watch how everyone jumps on it and have a change of heart it never fails happened with days gone and other titles because ppl cant think for themselves. Appreciate your review for actually spending time with the game before speaking on it

    I have 99 hours playtime and just started Midnight mode three days ago. I cleared all the unruly areas but will work on Ronin and Bond missions in Midnight (currently level 63). I just hoped they have something like The Underworld in Nioh 2 which should prove as the real challenge.

    Its miles better than Wo Long, and its on par with Nioh 2. 130+ hrs of slightly fantastical but still down to earth sword and fist fighting as if its a Samurai Champloo game. Hoping TN continues this with amazing DLC .
    Where else can you make a Geisha Ninja and beat thousands of ronin to sleep?
    If comparing it to a PS3 game, its of PS3 game quality, as in a really good ass game with EXTREME loads of content. Much better than AAA stuff of today.
    Graphically the oldest it could be called is PS4 or Late PS3 though games look good from there too

      Yes you unlock midnight difficulty when you beat the game. Playing the game on this difficulty will allow you to obtain "Masterwork" rarity items (red gear).

    I enjoyed the game overall yet i don't think it should've been $70! There's no excuse for graphics to be that dated with todays standards with technology. That not being their focuse in their games is why it should've been $60 imo. For $70 all the boxes should be checked(gameplay, graphics, story). Gameplay (combat) is the only thing that makes this game worthy, the other 2 not so much
